“Just because things hadn’t gone the way I had planned didn’t necessarily mean they had gone wrong.”

“The thing is: If you’re cold, you hurt people. If you’re sensitive, they hurt you.”

“If at first you don’t succeed, fix your ponytail and start again.”

“The world told me to go and seek my truth. So I bravely started to walk toward you.”

“The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, with the truth.”

“The things I find most beautiful about a person are almost never physical.”

“I never realized what a big deal that was. How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.”

“I loved to sleep with the window open. Rainy nights were the best of all: I would open the window and put my head on the pillow and close my eyes and feel the wind on my face and listen to the trees sway and creak.”

“There are some people who always seem angry, and continuously look for conflict. Walk away; the battle they are fighting isn’t with you, it is with themselves.”

“Sometimes you have to forget who you are to learn who you want to be.”

“Maybe that’s worse, not letting ourselves be loved. Because we’re too afraid of giving ourselves to someone we might lose.”

“Don’t let people with little dreams tell you that yours are too big.”

“Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything. Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on. In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That’s the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.”
